How frequently must ejection seats be inspected?

Ejection seats must be inspected according to the established maintenance schedule to ensure their proper functionality and safety. This schedule, dictated by the specific requirements set forth by the manufacturer and military regulations, outlines the frequency and type of inspections necessary based on the operational environment and usage of the equipment. Following this systematic approach helps maintain the integrity and reliability of ejection seats, which are critical for pilot safety during emergency situations.

While other frequencies like daily, weekly, and monthly inspections may be relevant for different aircraft or equipment, they do not universally apply to ejection seats. The established maintenance schedule takes precedence because it is tailored to the specific needs and operational history of the seats, thereby ensuring the highest standard of safety and equipment readiness.
